Are you sure you output the A-list in write-mode? Using display (or (printf "~a" A-list)) would give you exactly the output you describe. You may want to use symbol? and string? in order to inspect the input. Jos

My problem is : I want to write an A-List on a file "Diary.txt" , this A-list contains couples of a symbol and a string. Example : '((17/05/2011 "Hello guys") (18/05/2011 "good morning")) . But I have a problem when I read this A-List from the file with the function (read p-in), it transforms strings to symbol .. like that : '((17/05/2011 Hello guys) (18/05/2011 good morning)) How to get back the A-List with strings like on my example ? Thanks, jimmy.
